B 3m straight edge 6
C 600mm straight edge 6
Surface modifiers
Surface hardeners:
Suitable for Cementitious toppings or as laid surfaces.
Apply to clean surfaces. Do not apply to non-slip topping.
Seal stripper: Thoroughly clean the surface before the application of finishes to masonry and cementitious floors. Remove wax (buffable, self-polishing and acrylic paste types), heavy duty polymer finishes, and clear resin sealer using a seal stripper.
Unformed surfaces
Screeding: Strike off, consolidate and level slab surfaces to finished levels, to tolerance classC unless specified otherwise.
Placing:
Process: Spread the topping mix, compact, float to the designated tolerance class and finish.
Thickness: 20 +5mm.
Monolithic placing: Spread the topping mix as soon as surface water has disappeared from the base.
Monolithic placing on hardened surfaces: If toppings are to be applied to hardened concrete surfaces, scabble the surface to remove the surface layer and expose the aggregate. Thoroughly dampen the surface and leave free of standing water. Immediately before placing, either scrub a coat of neat cement grout into the surface, or apply an adhesive.
Placing over membranes: Over waterproof membranes, place cementitious toppings at least 45mm thick. Reinforce with 50 x 50 x 1.6mm galvanised wire netting lapped 150mm at joints.

Water:cement ratio: 0.5 maximum.
Slump: 50mm maximum.
Placing
Monolithic placing: Compact and float.
Adhesive
An approved commercial.
Integral margins
Integrally form margins in the topping material.
Coved skirtings
General: Where detailed or specified on the drawings, form coves in the topping material, and finish the top to a neatly struck line. Mitre internal and external angles.
Finishing methods
Scored or Scratch Finish (Broomed Finish): After screeding, give the surface a coarse scored texture using a stiff brush or rake drawn across the surface before final set.
Machine floated finish: After screeding consolidate the surface using a machine float. Hand float in locations inaccessible to the machine float. Cut and fill to tolerance class B and refloat immediately to a uniform, smooth, granular texture.
Steel trowelled finish: After machine floating, use power trowels to produce a smooth surface relatively free from defects. Then, when the surface has hardened sufficiently, use steel hand trowels to produce the final consolidated finish free of trowel marks and uniform in texture and appearance, to tolerance class A. Where floor coverings are to be installed, remove defects that would show through them.
Wood float finish: Produce the final finish using a wood float.
Non-Slip Broom finish: After floating draw a broom or hessian belt across the surface to produce a coarse even-textured slip-resistant transverse-scored surface.
Sponge finish: After machine floating, obtain an even textured sand finish by wiping the surface using a damp sponge.
Non-Slip Finish: Blend silicone carbide granules or aluminium oxide (size range 595 microns to 1410 microns) with portland cement in the proportions recommended by the supplier. After screeding, apply the blend at the rate of 1 kg/m in two operations.
Firstly apply approximately two-thirds of the granule cement blend to the surface by a method that ensures even coverage without segregation. Begin machine floating immediately after application of the first 'dry-shake'. When the granules have been embedded by floating, broadcast the remainder of the blend at right angles to the previous application. Machine float immediately.
Scored Non-Slip Finish: Alternatively, non-slip finish may be achieved through permanently grooving stair treads and landings.
Coloured and patterned finishes
Pattern paving: Proprietary treatment producing integral coloured and patterned surface for in situ paving and ground slabs.
Coloured concrete
Add pigment concentrates of high tinting strength inorganic oxides to the mixing as recommended by the manufacturer, to the desired colour.
